I just bought a butler natural sable Kelly in size 25 and was wondering if anyone has had long term experience with this leather? I wouldn’t use it every day and I do look after my bags, is it difficult to maintain? Do scratches remain visible? What would happen if a spot of water landed on the bag? I have a constance 18 in tadelakt and i’ve had no issues with it so far. Any advice would be much appreciated!
Butler leather, has anybody experienced with this leather?

Hi, I wonder how is your butler natural sable Kelly going? I got offered a K28 in the same leather, but not sure about how the leather is going to age. I'm having the same questions as you had in this post, hope you've already got the answers?
Thanks!
I have only carried the bag a couple of times but already managed to scratch it! The scratch is quite obvious but I am hoping will fade over time.
Thanks for your information! And to your question about the hardware, mine is GHW, so the Butler kelly does come with GHW.
Finally joining the club with this Plume 40 Fourre-tout in natural sable. Funnily enough I almost pulled the trigger on this bag over 2.5 years ago, and this time, I just couldn't resist!
I'm fairly relaxed about scratches (experience with Barenia and Evercalf/Evergrain), but wanted to get more feedback on how Butler does in the rain. I've read a few comments saying no lasting damage when caught in a shower, but would be grateful if anyone had any more to say now that these bags have been in use for a couple more years.

Can't comment on it's water resistance ( the little bit on a barenia/butler strap doesn't count) but CONGRATS!! it's a truly gorgeous bag
Classy and classic ( and SO usable!).

THANK YOU! You summed it up perfectly - a classic! And so soft and sumptuous to boot. Looking forward to getting some good use of this bag ASAP
Went in to see another bag today and my amazing SA brings out this little beauty.......jaw on the floor. Kelly 25 in Veau Butler leather. It is simply stunning. Over the moon with this one. Anyone know more about this leather-not an abundance I have found.
on your new Kelly! Perhaps this thread will be helpful?Just got a new C18 in butler! Wondering if there's any updates on how the leather has been holding up to scratches and water? Also if anyone knows whether it patinas much, that would be super helpful as well.
Yes we are bag brothers now
I am excited to see someone else also fell in love with this bag - found mine in Copenhagen Airport Store in 2019 and I couldn’t resist leather feel and had to take it home. It holds up pretty nicely but faint scratches do show througout (am not the most careful bag owner nonetheless) and some “pressed marks” also happen at the metal hoop (see pic).On water situation - dunno cz that hasn’t happened yet. If the “accident” happens I shall report back asap LOL.
